Thanks :)

About media messages:
Telegram sends a small thumbnail for audio/video/photo/document messages automatically, if there isn't one, a placeholder icon is displayed.

The automatic download is triggered only when clicking on images, in other cases a Remorse Timer is displayed.
I can enable it even for images, if you like it :)

About send messages with enter key:
In the conversations page there is a new Pull Up menu, there you can enter in settings and change the option :)

Audio Message:
It is possible to know the type the audio message? So I can test it.
It can be a QtQMultimedia issue.

About the username, I have missed it, sorry :(
There is a small hotfix version planned for this week, I will include your request there!

Thank you for listening to users.

Media messages:
Ok, now I understand. It's Ok as it is, but I think an option to download (just like what was on 0.6) will help to quickly download multiple images and see them later – if the photo viewer can also navigate between photos.

Sending with Enter:
Oh, I missed the pull-up menu. I have lots of conversations.

Audio message:
I don't know how I can find the file type. It's recorded and sent by Android client. Oh, the File Browser says they are OGG. It should work, plus I've installed ultimate codec package. Can the problem be resulted from that they are not sent as files, but just recorded inside Telegram?

Dax's picture

Media Messages:
I will reinsert the "Download" option during conversations!
Navigate between photos is not easy, I see want can I do :)

Audio message:
If you use the ultimate codec package, it's an issue of SailorGram :)
I don't have tested recorded messages, probably they are different than audio sent as files.
I will make some tests!

alina's picture

Thanks for the great update! It's now usable for my daily use. Voice messages works for me (but I have ultimate codec pack installed and don't know if it works without the pack). However I think the photos are still autodownloaded; because my Internet is slow taking a few seconds to download voice messages, but I see photos at once. Instead of getting the thumbnail, it gets the original photo.

Please re-check the code, it worked beautifully on 0.6. Thanks a million!

Dax's picture

So, voice messages works?
I'm using a vanilla SailfishOS and it tells me that I don't have required codecs so I cannot play it :)

About photos: they are sent as files or pure photo? (pure photo messages are displayed without size and filename) so I can make more tests.

Keep in mind that the client caches previously downloaded files and use them instead of thumbnails!

alina's picture

Yeah, voice messages (pure sounds) work with Ultimate Codec Support installed from Warehouse. They're opened in an integrated audio player.

About photos, yes, they are sent as pure photos. And I know about cached photos, I'm testing with new photos sent. (Now I'm in doubt if it worked on the version 0.6.) I like pure photos to be treated just like photo files.

But a minor bug appeared in 0.71 that download menu item doesn't disapear after having the file downloaded. I'm really sorry. :( I'm reporting lots of minor bugs.

Dax's picture

Ops, I have missed it, I will fix it in 0.72!

Don't worry about bug reports :)
More reports = Better software

YAS!

gri4994's picture

Bold font on cover is distracting from Sailfish UI, but other features are awesome at all!!!

Dax's picture

Mmmmh, you're right...I can remove the bold font :)

alina's picture

And also the font of cover is different from the System font.

Dax's picture

The only thing that I have changed are the size and its weight (they are bold)

I can remove the bold state and use the normal font size for "Connected" state and a smaller one for new message, it is ok? :)

alina's picture

Sorry, I'm using a font other than Sailfish Sans on my Jolla. Seems it doesn't support bold strokes. So removing the font weight seems ok. The size and the alignment is perfect.

Dax's picture

Ok :)

gri4994's picture

If compare with some original apps, SG icon should be transparent a little more.

And can I turn off the chat background somehow? 

Dax's picture

If you like to do manual editing you'll need to go in /usr/share/harbour-sailorgram/qml/components and edit the file called TelegramBackground.qml and change the "opacity" property :)

I think that, in order to improve readability, messages needs to be surrounded by an opaque bubble.

gri4994's picture

Readability is okay, bubbles may ruin SFOS UI. It's better to keep original interface, that's why I'm talking about background. It looks good with white background, but with Sailfish transparency it looks strange

Hi. I love your app but I have a problem. I don't remember if I closed the app or lost internet connection but now I can't login. It says "Connecting" all the time. How can I fix this ?

P.D: another big bug, there is no link to donate you :p

Dax's picture

Hi!
Sometimes, restarting the application solves the issue.

If the problem persists try to reset the application by deleting the folder "harbour-sailorgram" located in /home/nemo/.local/share with a file browser (in this case you will need to repeat the Sign In procedure).

Today I had problems too, even with Telegram Desktop.

I will add the Donation Link this weekend, when I release 0.7 :)

mika77's picture

This fix works, Sailorgram working again. Thank you very much ^^

mrzapp's picture

Well done, mate! This is by far the most promising Telegram client on Sailfish so far, you are doing some very important things right. Now we just need to have it check for messages while running in the background :)

I am so happy that someone finally started an open source client, I don't know what the hell the other guys are thinking developing closed source apps with open source software for an open source OS. I am a developer myself, please do let me know if I can be of help!

Dax's picture

Hi!
Any help is welcome! :)

The service will be available in 0.8

mrzapp's picture

Good to hear. First thing I noticed is that there are no issues or milestones in the GitHub repo. If you could send me a list of bugs and missing features, I could organise them into development sprints and make the whole process flow a bit easier. Then I could also assign some issues to myself, if I know how to solve them :) Just PM it to me or send me an email at contact€jeppezapp:com. I need to be added as contributor on the repo as well, my GitHub handle is mrzapp

Dax's picture

I have sent you a (long) email :)

gri4994's picture

I've made more sailfish styled icon

It would be lovely if you use it :)

alina's picture

Beautiful!

Dax's picture

It is possible to have a 128x128 version of the icon?

Thanks!

gri4994's picture

Here it is! It was easier than I thought

Dax's picture

Thanks again!

I have added you in the credits page :)

gri4994's picture

Default Sailfish PSDs are 86x86 only, but I'll try :)
